Let’s Make Music! Music Programs that Can Benefit Your Child

single news

Research has shown that music education can benefit children in many ways. A recent study done by the University of Southern California, shows that for adolescents, the benefits appear to extend beyond a surge in neural connections in their brains. It actually boosts their wellbeing. Music education has also been shown to enhance language capabilities, improve memory, and strengthen hand-eye coordination. Ready to introduce your child to the world of music or feed their current interest? Prince William County Parks and Recreation offers a variety of music education classes for you to choose from. 

In partnership with Learn Now Music, the area’s only professional music education service, Prince William County Parks is excited to offer the following music classes where young musicians will participate in musical instruction and theory, musical games, special extension curriculum-based activities, musical listening excerpts, related projects, and more!
